#iGiveCatholic

11/12/2018 - 11/27/2018

All Day

#iGiveCatholic is an global social media crowdfunding day that is held on Giving Tuesday (the Tuesday after Thanksgiving). It was started to remind Catholics of their faith and to give them an opportunity to start the charitable giving season as a counter-narrative to the consumerism of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

In a time of uncertainty, one thing we can count on is our faith. Our faith that we practice today and the faith foundation that we received along the way. Please take a few minutes to view this video that expresses this so well.

Please visit the link below to read “Our Story” and prayerfully consider a gift to St. Mary’s or any other Catholic parish, school, or ministry of your choice. All funds (with the exception of a 6% processing fee) remain in the parish. Donations can be made on line from Nov 12-27 by visiting #iGiveCatholic

I love my job. Sure, it’s not all that exciting to write checks, do bookkeeping, meet with vendors. But what IS exciting are THE PEOPLE. St. Mary’s is blessed with wonderful parishioners who give themselves wholeheartedly to the service of the Lord. I have come to know many on a personal level and have found them to be beautiful people of God. [ 670 more words ]www.stmarystars.org/blog/2018/08/08/its-never-too-late-to-say-thanks/...

Lydia is the first recorded person in Europe to become a follower of Jesus Christ. She was Saint Paul’s first baptized convert at Philippi. What we know of Lydia is found in the Acts of the Apostles. She was from Thyatira, an industrial center located in what is now western Turkey. She was a wealthy business woman; a manufacturer and seller of purple dyes and fabrics for which the city of Thyatira was noted.
